OTHER ORGANIZATIONS.
SECOND AND SIXTH BATTERIES, FIFTH A
THIRD RIGIAILnrrc

| SECOND AND SIXTH BATTERIES, FIFTH AND
THIRD REGIMENTS.
The Sixth Battery belonged to the Re-
serve Artillery. 1t was attached to the
Second Corps, of which Major Freeman Nc
Gilvery was chief of artillery at the time Get
tysburg was fought. During the battle the
battery was commanded by First Lieutenant
afterwards Captain Z. B. Dow Among the
men who composed the organization were
Messrs. Sterling Dow, Samuel Thurston and
Albion Trefethen, of Portland. The men
came from Aroostook, Waldo and Knox
counties largely. The Sixth was originally
six-gun battery, but at the Second Bull Run
lost two of its guns. So when it moved up
to Gettysburg it was a four-gun battery 1t
arrived on the night of the first day and went
into park with other batteries of the Reserve
Artillery on the right and rear of the Union
line, near Culp's Hill. On the morning of
the Second Day they went into position in
the rear of the lines of Hanocks' Second
corps. But the heavy fighting of the battery
on the second day was late in the afternoon
When Sickles's line was going to pieces
Major McGilvery, with four batteries, one of
which was the Sixth Maine, was ordered up
to the Peach Orchard to aid Graham. From
a cross road in the rear of the Orchard these
batteries did very effective service, and met
with heavy losses. That night they went
back to prepare for the fighting of the NOR
row on the line of the Third Days fight.
1t was one o'clock in the afternoon of the
Third Day that General Lee began the ire
mendous artillery fire on the Union centre
that prepared the way for Pick
ett's charge. The Sixth was one of
the batteries that replied until 8
o'clock, when it ceased firing accord
cording to the orders of General Hunt. Then
came Pickett's charge. The Sixth were on
that part of the line opposite that part of the
charging line which the Rebel General Will
cox commanded. But the Confederates never
reached the guns. The whitening fire from
the Sixth and other batteries stopped them
several hundred yards away.
This ended the fight for the battery. 1t
had lost thirteen men and seventy horses.
FIFTH MAINE INFANTRY
The Fifth Maine Infantry was commanded
by Colonel Clark S. Edwards. 1t belonged
to the Sixth Army Corps, and with it made
the famous Sixth Corps March up to Get
tysburg. During the Second days fight the
Fifth was in position near the Devils Den
and were engaged, losing five men. That
night they accomplished the difficult task of
recovering two guns that Massachusetts
battery had lost near the Throstle House.
The third day the Fifth were not engaged,
but were on the left portion of the Union
line, somewhat to the right of Little Round
Top.
SECOND BATTERY AND THIRD REGIMENT.
The part taken by the Second Battery,
commanded by General James A. Hall, was
very important, The battery lost in the
whole battle about "a men and 3S horses.
The Third Regiment fought in the Peach
Orchard. 1t also bore an important part, as
the loss of III men shows.

SIGHTS AND SCENES IN THE PURSUIT OF
LEES ARMY.
The First Maine Cavalry was command
ed by Lieutenant Colonel G. ii. Smith, and
belonged to Brigadier General ID. Mem.
Gregg's division, and Colonel j. Irwin Gregg's
brigade This regiment starting from Han
over the morning of the I'd, reached the bat
tlefeld of Gettysburg about noon after hot
and dusty march with jaded horses and wea-
ny men. The duties of this regiment for a
month before Gettysburg had been of most
severe and exhausting character BY daily
scouts and reconnoisances, and by the losses
at Brandy Station, Aide. Middleburg and
Upperville its members had been lessened,
and its strength depleted, but its morale was
never firmer than when it lay at the field of
Gettysburg awaiting the call for action
which they were sure must come. But ow-
ing to the severe losses sustained by this reg
iment in the important battles preceding
Gettysburg it was held in reserve with the
intention perhaps that it would only be used
as the last resort. TIE regiment stood to
horse while the great cavalry fight was in
progress on the right momentarily expecting
the summons to engage in it. At about -four
o'clock the summons came direct from the
lips of the division commander to move for
ward and engage a body of the enemy's cav.
airy that was moving to our right; but after
moving forward in haste short distance
the regiment was halted, and soon returned
to its former position. The Rebel General
Stuart had been repulsed, and this regiment
lost the opportunity of makinga name for it.
self upon the great field of Gettysburgas il
had upon many other fields of lesser note. On
the 5th of July this regiment was given the
advance in the pursuit of Lees retreating
army over Chambersburg Pike. 1t never
knew more exciting day in its history, as
1t pursued broken forces of the enemy. Fol
miles to the rear of Gettysburg the houses
and barns were filed with the rebel wound
ed,and just beyond the town an immense
field hospital was left full of wounded the
road was filled with the debris of retreat
ing arms, guns, caissons, wagons, and every
thing that hindered the flight of the rebels
was abandoned, and stragglers by the score
were frequently brought in from the woods
on our line of march. All night after dark
the pursuit was continued, until the rear
guard of the enemy with artillery was over
taken, and their resistance was so firm that
it was found impracticable to continue the
pursuit in the darkness.

Something About the Crank Who Threat
ems to Succeed the "Palmist''
The "Eyesolog.t" is the newest fad
of man, and succeeds the "palmist. :"
He tells the character from the color
of the eyes. The theory is that brown
eyes, which are plentiful, seldom mir
ror the heart feelings, but are fine to
look at! Gray eyes are the most COM
mon. There are hundred different
kinds of gray eyes. People have not
become advanced enough to have more
than four or five colors to apply to
eyes, so any that are not blue, or black,
or brown. or hazel are called gray
You seldom see real stupid person
with gray eyes. but the genuine gray
is always found among highly intelli-
gent people. Steel-gray eyes with
large pupils denote intense feeling;
bluegray eyes are generally among
people with kindly hearts. You never
find real mean spirit behind pair OF
blue-gray eyes. Blue eyes denote
quickness of thought, and generally
fine physical development where they
are large and bright. Very few
blue-eyed people are color-blind or
near-sighted. Hazel eyes denote mus
zeal ability and grace of person. They
are very pretty eyes, too; and then
there are real green eyes. They are
not as scarce MS is generally supposed.
The ideal eye is, however, perfect
violet or velvet brown, as soft and
gentle as does. Violet eyes are very
rare. They denote gentleness, intelli-
gence, devotion and boundless faith.
Brown eyes are plentiful, and physic-
ally, perhaps, the most beautiful eyes
in the world. They denote intense
feeling and loveableness.-M Y. Her

Cholera in Japan.

Some history of cholera in Japan has
recently been published by the Director
Of the Sanitary Bureau for the En-
pire. According to this authority
cholera is known to have appeared in
Japan in 1922, comm encing at Maya
saki, the only port then open to foreign
commences; and at the same time the
disease is known to have prevailed in
China. Another epidemic took place
in 1858, but no statistical information
is available as to either of these out
breaks But since the empire has been
freely open to foreign vessels cholera
has been much more frequent. 1t
entered in 1876, and in 1877 it caused
1867 deaths. The next epidemic was in
1879, when 105, 786 fatal attacks were
recorded, After this there was cessa-
ton until 1885, during the course of
which 1852 deaths occurred, and the
disease has extended into the present
year. Cholera is admitted to be, in
Japan as elsewhere, generally associat-
ed with the prevalence of local filth, and
great efforts are being made by the
Sanitary Bureau to effect Improvements
In this respect.--N Y. Post

The central platform is, of course,
the standpoint from which visitors will
view the panorama-and therefore the
artists are obliged to go to itfrequently
as the painting nears completion, in or
der to observe the effect and progress
of their work. This, too, is the place
of conference, and despite the signs of
mo Admittancen within and without,
visitors are frequent and usually well
come. These visitors are often veteran
represented and who often make help
ful suggestions. The army stories that
are told on the central platform, when
old soldiers meet and discuss the old

digous volume. The floor of the pl;&-

currences upon other fields. The strong
pine rail surrounding the platform is
pencled all over with kindred decora-
tons, while scraps of paper, upon
which are memoranda of incidents and
avarety of data as we'll as names and
addresses, are pinned to the convenient
timber with thumb tacks. The art
lists paint steadily, every individual
being mainly occupied in perfecting
his own work, though never hesitate
ing to ask or extend aid in some special
direction. One artist, for instance, has
an excellent figure of a mounted Off
Ger, all complete excepting the por-
trait, photograph for which is pinned
to the canvas. While this artist goes
to strengthen a line of battle, another
one will rapidly paint in an admirable
portrait for the incomplete figure. Soon
another brush is busy with the horse,
while still another artist calls for some
special saddle and bride to be brought
to the platform that he may paint the
trappings. Now, look at the back OF
the photograph which is pinned to the
canvass faded carte de visite of a

The Peculiar habi of n Naturalist's Pet

Because of his bald and shiny head,
his solemn, wrinkled and melancholy
Wis ge, his air of profound gravity
and Senatorial wisdom, we got to call
ing him the Old Man, and forgot to
give him any Christian name. A thin
growth of brick-red hair grew straight
up the back of his head and over the
crown, making, in certain lights, d per-

tober 10Th. in spite of his vigorous OPP
position, and found that his height was
q 3-4 inches, extent of arms, "a 1-2
inches, and his weight 10 1-2 pounds.
His body was short and thick, and,
like all orangs, his arms were so long
and his legs so short that by stoop-
ing forward little his hands ca ,ily
touched the ground. In walking. he
invariably went on all tours, placing
the back of the fingers and ball of the
thumb, instead of the palm. upon the
ground, and he alo turned his
toes under. His gait on the ground was
very much like that of n man going on
crutches wi h both feet injured alike.
On the ground he moved slowly. SEEM

| feats il climbing. and his performances
on The slackrope. were highly enter

upon the puny helplessness OF human
infants. Next to eating seven ba anas

ont his legs and arms, catching hold of
my book or my penholder, or pulling at
